In 1958, MGM acquired the distribution rights for this Alfred Hitchcock
classic from Warner Bros. (I am not certain if it included distribution
rights within the U.S., or only outside the U.S.). They printed a really
cool all new posters and a title card that have a giant image of Alfred
Hitchcock looming above Jimmy Stewart (and they also used the image for the
Argentinean release). The posters were "Litho in U.S.A.", but are undated,
and some dealers have mistakenly sold these posters as original release
international posters, but they are definitely from the 1958 MGM re-release.
In the 1960s, Universal acquired the rights to this movie, and they
re-released it in 1964 and 1965.
